Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 861 I guarantee that he will have a posthumous title

Of course, Shacheng is not Shabak City. This place is located 120 miles northwest of Zhangjiakou. Not far to the south of this city is Xinghe. Xinghe is an important foothold for Mongolians to go to Zhangjiakou Mutual Market.

As for Shacheng itself, it was probably near the former Yenzhong Capital and belonged to Zhangbei County, Zhangjiakou City in later generations.

Yuan Zhongdu was first built in July of the 11th year of Yuan Dade (1307), and it is one of the famous four or three capitals (Helin, Shangdu, Dadu and Zhongdu) of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty.

Its builder was the great-grandson of Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan, Yuan Wu Zong Boer Jijin Haishan.At that time, Haishan was eager to build the central capital. In order to speed up the progress, it "sent six guards with 500 people" and "six guards with 3000 people" to join the construction, "stop the battle without urgency" to ensure the construction of the central capital.

The Miyagi was completed in July of the first year of the Great Yuan (1308). It took only [-] months from the start of construction to the completion of the Miyagi. It can be said that it has created a miracle of ancient palace architecture.Later, the turrets of the palace city, the imperial city and the Guocheng were added, making it another imperial capital and summer resort and hunting resort for the royal family after Helin, Shangdu and Dadu in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.

However, Yuan Zhongdu served as the capital for a very short time. In the first month of the fourth year (1311), Yuan Wuzong died suddenly, and his younger brother Aiyu Li Bali Bada (Yuan Renzong) succeeded to the throne.He was very dissatisfied with Wuzong's construction of labor and wealth. In order to comply with public opinion, he issued an edict shortly after succeeding to the throne to "strike the city and the capital".

Yuan Zhongdu was used as the capital for only three years, and then it was only used as a palace. Later Yuan Yingzong, Taizong, Wenzong, Shundi and many other emperors of the Yuan Dynasty visited here, discussed government affairs, and did Buddhist affairs.In the 18th year of Zhengzheng (1358), Yuanzhong, which had survived for only 50 years, was burned down by the Red Turban Army and became an abandoned site.

Since then, Yuanzhong Capital has disappeared in the long river of history, and its ruins were not rediscovered until the 600s and 90s of the [-]th century, more than [-] years later.

But this place has not completely become a desert of civilization, because its geographical location still has a geographical advantage. It is the fusion of farming culture and grassland culture. The north and west are the vast Monan Mongolia (Inner Mongolia) grassland.

After all, in the Yuan Dynasty, this place called Wangwuchadu used to be a beautiful grassland with vast land, lush grass, numerous lakes, swans and wild geese flying in the sky, and roe deer and wild deer running on the ground.

But when Gao Wushi came here, he could neither see the lush grassland nor the majestic Yuanzhong Capital. What was left for him to watch and pay homage to was only some broken walls and ruins exposed in the long yellow sand.

Fortunately, although Yuanzhongdu was burned by the Red Turban Army, the wooden buildings were easy to burn, but the city walls made of bricks, stones and loess were not easy to burn. Therefore, there are still some traces of the city here.

Yellow sand, ancient city, mottled and dilapidated.This is the sand city in Gao Wushi's eyes at the moment—no wonder it is called the sand city now, it is really an ancient city in the sand.

"Sir, the students have always wondered. When Haishan came to the throne, Dayuan already had Dadu and Shangdu, and Mobei also had Helin. Why did they build Zhongdu?"

The person who asked this question was a ten-year-old boy, dressed in typical Ming costumes, and spoke Chinese with a Shanxi accent. Although he was young, he did not ride a pony, but rode on the back of a tall horse. On the BMW, there was no panic at all, as if riding a horse was as easy as walking for him.

This child is Han Naji's eldest son, Erde Mutu, and the "Mr" he calls can only be Gao Yushi, the number one scholar in six poems of Ming Dynasty.

People in later generations know very little about the history of the Yuan Dynasty, and so did Gao Yushi.In fact, the national histories of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties have many problems. For example, there are too few materials for the history of the Yuan Dynasty and the history of the Ming Dynasty for the Qing Dynasty. Most of the ready-made historical materials such as epitaphs, Shinto steles, family biographies, and narrations are piled up, and the time for cutting and carving is not even prepared for the historian, so it is inevitable that there are many piles of confusion.

Such as copying as you get, repeating back and forth, losing tailoring; and not matching each other, examining the similarities and differences, and sometimes seeing contradictions.

For example, this book may be written after one incident, and biographies may be written twice by one person.The same proper name, different translations.History and texts are translated and changed, sometimes completely reversing the original meaning.Following the text of the case, so that the official titles of Geng Canzheng, Tian Situ, and Hao Canzheng appeared in "Hequ Zhi" and "Sacrifice Zhi" without remembering their names.The chronology of the prime ministers was compiled according to the case files, and only their official titles were deleted without examination and revision, so that they had surnames but no names.

Wait, wait, and so on.

However, it was the Ming Dynasty after all at this time, and Gao Yushi, an imperial official, had to check the Yuan history (such as the origin of a certain system) when compiling the "Da Ming Hui Dian" before, so his level of Yuan history is better than before traveling. It has improved a lot.

Fortunately, he has improved, otherwise this Gao Liusong who was boasted by Han Naji as "the best talent in the world" in front of his son, wouldn't he lose face in front of the new students today?
Gao Wushi walked confidently, looking at the ruined capital of the old Yuan Dynasty as if he was visiting a tourist attraction, and said gently, "The question you asked starts with Haishan's struggle for the throne."

The same question, Erdemutu also asked his father Bahanaji before, but Bahanaji is a strange thing, his understanding of Yuan history is not as good as that of Ming Dynasty, so naturally he can't answer his son's question, so now When Gao Wushi spoke like this, Erdemutu was overjoyed, and politely cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, sir."

Gao Wushi nodded secretly. This kid didn't say anything else, but his father's respect for culture has been inherited.

"In February of the 11th year of Dade (1307), Chengzong Tiemuer, the second emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, died of illness. His crown prince Deshou died young and had no other heirs, so the throne was vacant. According to the old Mongolian system, temporarily The empress of the main palace, Buluhan, is the regent, and she will call the clan ministers to hold a Kuritai meeting to elect a new king." Gao Wushi is practically learning what he has learned, and he started to tell the story in front of the students with a little bit of Yuan history he learned the year before last. .

"Bruhan and Prime Minister Ahutai of the Left wanted to support Chengzong's cousin Anxi Wang Ananda as the king, and they called him to Beijing to assist in the government; while the Prime Minister of the Right, Hara Hasun, tried to support the Haishan brothers. So Haraha Sun and Aiyu Libali Bada (later Yuan Renzong), who rushed back to Beijing from Huaizhou (Qinyang, Henan), staged a coup and arrested Empress Buluhan, Prime Minister Ahutai and Ananda. Both were later executed.

At this time, Huaining Wang Haishan was still in Qinghai, Hara Hasun, the kings Kuokuchu, Yahudu, etc., and Daji wanted to support Haishan's younger brother Aiyu Libali Bada as emperor, but they were forced by the elder brother Haishan to become powerful. Due to military pressure, Aiyu Libali Bada did not succeed to the throne, but only took charge of the government in the name of supervising the country, and later supported his elder brother Haishan as emperor.

In May of the 11th year of Dade (1307), Haishan ascended the throne in Shangdu. In order to repay his younger brother Aiyu Libali Bada's support for his support, he was named the crown prince and received the order of Zhongshu. Uncle and nephew passed on...

But on this point, you are a Mongolian, so you should have heard of the follow-up. In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wuzong Haishan died suddenly, and Aiyu Libali Bada came to the throne. It was Renzong who reigned for nine years, but after his death He did not pass the throne to Wuzong's son He Shizhen as agreed, but passed it to his son Shuodebala (Yuanyingzong), breaking the oath of the uncle and nephew.This approach also led to the 20-year cruel and bloody struggle for the position in the Yuan Dynasty..."

Erdemutu nodded and said, "Yes, students know these things."

Gao Wushi nodded lightly, and continued: "After Haishan ascended the throne, in order to get rid of the constraints of the old nobles in Shangdu and Dadu, establish his own authority as soon as possible, and facilitate contact with the Mongolian kings and nobles in Mobei when he was on the expedition, so he ascended the throne for only ten days. An edict was issued to 'build the Xinggong Palace in the land of Wangwuchadu, and set up the palace as the central capital'.

However, Haishan himself was too addicted to wine and sex. On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of his junior high school, Haishan, who had been in power for less than four years, unexpectedly died suddenly at the Yude Palace in Dadu at the age of 31.After Yuan Wuzong's death, his younger brother Aiyu Libali Bada succeeded to the throne as Yuan Renzong.After Renzong succeeded to the throne, he soon announced that the construction of the Central Capital would be stopped, but it was still used as a palace. Many subsequent emperors also visited and discussed politics here.In the 18th year of Zhengzheng, the Red Turban Army burned down the palace of Zhongdu, making it an abandoned site. Well, it is the Shacheng in front of us now. "

Erdemutu thoughtfully said: "In other words, Haishan's construction of the Central Capital is similar to the situation when Emperor Sui Yang went to Jiangdu?"

Gao Wushi was slightly taken aback, then laughed: "Do you still know Emperor Sui Yang?"

Erde Mutu raised his chest slightly: "Of course I know."

Gao Wushi smiled and asked, "Why Yang?"

"Uh..." Erdemutu was at a loss for words, scratched his head and said, "I don't know about this, but it's definitely not a beautiful posthumous title."

""The Posthumous Posthumous Law" says: If you are good at home and far away, you will be called Yang; if you are far away from the ceremony, you will be called Yang; if you go against the sky and abuse the people, you will be called Yang; Speaking pragmatically, he glanced at Erde Mutu: "Do you think the bad posthumous title given by Li Tang is suitable for Yang Guang?"

"It seems quite suitable, right?" Erde Mutu was still scratching his head.

Gao Yushi did not directly say whether it is suitable or not, but said: "Yang Guang's posthumous title 'Yang' was given by Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, in fact, Yang Guang has three other posthumous titles with completely different meanings.

The first one is that after Yang Tong, the king of Yue who stayed in the Eastern Capital, succeeded to the throne, he gave Yang Guang the posthumous title of "Ming" and the temple name Shizu. This should be regarded as the most formal posthumous title, so that is to say, Yang Guang should be Sui Shizu Emperor Ming.

Coincidentally, Wang Shichong usurped the throne to establish Zheng, and after killing Yang Tong, he gave Yang Guang the same posthumous title as Li Yuan gave Yang You, both of which are "Gong", that is, Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty.

In addition, after Xia Wang Dou Jiande heard that Wang Shichong had usurped the throne, he severed ties with him, and turned his head to give Yang Guang the posthumous title of "Min", that is, Emperor Min of the Sui Dynasty.Mutu, do you know the difference between these four posthumous titles?Why did different people give him different posthumous titles? "

Erdemutu shook his head and said, "The difference is definitely good and bad, but the students don't know why the difference is so big."

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "Without him, the nectar of the other is the poison of the dove, and vice versa. Yang, the emphasis is on faintness and violence; Ming, the emphasis is on merit and karma; Gong, the emphasis is on concession and humility; , the focus is on thinking and mourning.”

Erde Mutu seemed to understand half-understood, still a little dazed, and asked: "Then why the emphasis is different?"

Gao Wushi replied: "Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui Dynasty with his ministers. He must emphasize that Yang Guangzhi was angry with the heavens and the people complained about it. The fate is no longer in the Sui Dynasty, so he focused on Yang Guang's faintness and violence; Emphasize Yang Guang's merit and career; Wang Shichong is usurping the throne, in order to gain some legitimacy, he has to emphasize Yang Guang's concession and humility; thoughts and sorrows."

When he said this, he laughed: "You see, a person has so many completely different images in the eyes of different people, so it is so difficult to make a conclusion."

Erdemutu thought about it thoughtfully, and suddenly asked nervously: "Sir, tell me, Echige will..."

"Is your father?" Gao Wushi smiled: "If you win this battle, I will guarantee that he will have a good posthumous posthumous title."
